Our Mission

To joyfully share the Catholic vision for marriage and family life, so that those called to this vocation will know the love of Jesus Christ and thrive with the help of his grace.
 

What We Do

We focus on strengthening the family—the Domestic Church—which is the building block of society and the Catholic Church established by Jesus Christ. To that end, we:

• Offer marriage preparation weekend retreats to engaged couples.
• Teach about the Sacrament of Marriage and the importance of being "on mission" as a family.
• Empower couples—especially women—to understand their fertility and how to plan their family in a way that corresponds to their wedding vows.
• Share concrete skills for couples to grow in prayer, dialogue, and a willingness to embrace challenge as an opportunity for growth.
• Celebrate anniversary milestones for married couples in the Diocese.
• Help to build up local parish communities by fostering a culture of hospitality and faith.
